The earliest es: the English roads in the last part of the eleventh century th; Peusnuts secretly crossed themselves and muttered prayers und We a certain red-faced, red-haired, red-bearded man galloped | their breath, This horseman was William I!., King of England, known aa “mata and as “the Red King.” Nor were the florid face and fiery hair his soll claims to the ttle of “Red,” for Rufus was a man of bloody deeds. The curse of God was believed to hang over h!m. Rufus himself laughed at this curse, but the common people, who hated and feared him, believed in it | And their belief was one day to be justified, England had been snatched from its rude Saxon masters by a Norman duke, Wiiliata, who invaded the island in 1066, beat down all opposition | and won for himself the title of “Conqueror,” and reigned as King Will {iam I. He parcelled up much of the conquered kingdom among his Norman nobles, crashed the liberties of the Saxons and ruled with a hand of iron, William loved hunting, To gratify his taste he set apart tor himeelt @ huge a deer park Mi square miles in area, which he called the emg New Forest.” In order to secure unis park he and his The Hand son, William Rufus, destroyed all towns, villages and of Iron, tarnis that stood within the limits of the proposed » “Forest,” and thug drove hundreds of poor people out | i 8 beg ov starve, For this outrage @ solemn and terrible curse was Invoked by one sufferer upon both father and son, The malediction's results, so far as the Conqueror was concerned, were Dot jong delayed. Ils days were spent in strite, his favorite son, Richard, died and he himself was killed by a fall from his horse at a time when he was on the very eve of fresh conquests, The English crown, by right of succession, should have | gone to the Conqueror's elder son, Robert, But Rufus hurried to England, seized the throne and made good his claim to it by trickery and sheer force of arms | Then to raise money ne oppressed the peopie.

He spent days at @ time par | suing deer through the New Forest, laughing to scorn the curse that had beea ( laid upon that despoiled region. One morning in 1100, when he was forty-four and had relgned Just thirteen | years, he entered the Forest with his followers. There was scant chance of any intrusion upon this tract by the plain people, Not only did they dread the curse, | but the King had ordained such barvarous penalties for the slaying of a deer that few dared risk death by being found lingering in the park. he anticipated the Mayor and crossed the bridge earlier in the day in | his automobile. | For the owners of and riders in automobiles the new Queensboro | Bridge is a great convenience.
